"Swanee" is an American popular song written in 1919 by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Irving Caesar. It is most often associated with singer Al Jolson. The song was written for a New York City revue called Demi-Tasse, which opened in October 1919 at the Capitol Theater. Caesar, who was then aged 20, claimed to have written the song in about ten minutes riding on a bus in Manhattan, finishing it at Gershwin's apartment. It was written partly as a parody of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home", including the title in its lyrics. It was originally used as a big production number, with 60 chorus girls dancing with electric lights in their slippers on an otherwise darkened stage.

La canción fue escrita para un musical en Nueva York titiulado , que abrió sus puertas en octubre de 1919 en el . César y Gershwin, que contaban entonces con 20 años de edad, dijeron haber escrito la canción en unos diez minutos, en un autobús en Manhattan, y a continuación, en el apartamento de Gershwin.
